937 CE
Otto further offends the nobility in 937 through his appointment of Gero to succeed his older brother, Siegfried, as Count and Margrave of a border region abutting the Wends on the lower Saale.
His decision frustrates Thankmar, Otto's half-brother and Siegfried's cousin, who feels that he holds a greater right to the appointment.
